55We enjoyed this spot! It is clean with plenty of available water and secured fencing. Floki loved running the trails, searching for balls, playing in the creek and the chairs around the area were much appreciated by this out of shape human! Vivian S.

55My two dogs had a fantastic time. So much woodland to run and explore. The path was steep, but there were walking sticks available at the entrance. Ramara M.

55Love looking at all the work Linda is doing to make this magical place even better with even more fencing and more trails.
My dogs had a blast and they really needed to decompress as it has been a very stressful time and we lost a beloved pack member on Sunday. It was nice to be in the woods on a chilly Fall morning and just relax. It was comforting to myself and my dogs.
Linda is also the most fabulous host. A few days earlier I had to cancel our reservation. It was less than the 2 hour cancelation period but Linda refunded my money. She didn’t have to do this and I am so appreciative.
If you like to spend time with your pups in a peaceful and woodsy environment, you will LOVE this place!Stephanie H.

55This woodsy property was easy to find and access. My nearly 3 yr old Aussie doesn’t get many opportunities to run loose-leash in the woods so she was sooo happy to zip through the trails and explore the grounds. The trails on the property are on the back side of a hill and will require walking down and back up to explore all of the spaces. There are a handful of water bowls/pumps throughout the property. It felt like we were away from the city and in our own little sanctuary. Rita V.

55Beautiful property and great fencing that goes all the way to the floor! We had SO much fun and will definitely be back! My only note for other anxious parents is Watson’s recall isnt solid so i completely lost track of him for a minute or two, but I am confident that the fencing was secure! The creek was a ton of fun on the long line too!Rachel J.

55What a cool spot in the middle of the city! Your pups will have an awesome time in the creek. We brought a long line for each—I would suggest shoes with good grip for the walk down and maybe a towel—although our dogs didn’t sit still long enough to be dried off! They had a blast exploring the woods safely off leash. Thanks for an awesome experience—any time we are on that side of the Sound we will stop by!Christina L.

55Linda was very kind, responsive, and helpful! Beautiful space that my pup really enjoyed! We even explored the creek some and he had loads of fun! Very secure fencing, particularly if you have a smaller dog like myself!Mikayla S.

55The site is great for active dogs who need to release their energy. It's on a hillside and it's a wonderful way to play with the dogs. I can see a lot of work has gone into making this a place to remember. People with walking restrictions won't enjoy the hillside as it's steep. Once it's done the watering areas are all along the pathways. We loved the site. Thank you! CR & PupsCarrie R.

55We had a fantastic time at this spot, even if it was a little muddy from recent rain. It was like being in a park without having to share the space with other people. We came home with a tired happy pup.Sarah W.

55This property is fantastic! Feels like you’re in a distant rain forest rather than a backyard in the city. My dog had SO much fun exploring and sniffing and running around while I had peace of mind he would be safe. We’ll definitely be back! Joy G.

55Perfect way to spend a fall evening! My pups had a great time sprinting through the fallen leaves and we enjoyed listening to the creek. The trails are very well-maintained with no fallen branches. Can’t wait to come back! Megan S.

FAQ about our Federal Way dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Federal Way?
There are 35 dog water parks in the Federal Way area. The most popular dog water park is Wonderlane. You can browse all of our dog water parks here.
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
